Thing 2: RSS feeds

This will be super handy to keep up with design blogs I like to read. Normally, I check them every few weeks when it pops into my head and then spend an hour or two following a trail of links to a juicy new design gem or to a dead end… now, at least, I'll be able to scan my primary favorites all at once! As stupid as it may sound, this will make my inbox more organized, as right now it's full of emails of blog updates. Why haven't I set up an RSS account before now??

Thing 1: Setting up a blog

Well, that was exciting! Maybe not so much the blog part, because I have done that before, but I did get an excuse to spend an awful lot of time making a Yahoo avatar, changing it, changing it again, and again, and again…

The third party stuff is interesting. I've definitely never done that. I guess because I don't feel like the blog I have apart from this one is something people would subscribe to, but you never know. I'm interested to see how it works and what kind of information, if any, I get from Feedburner and possibly apply it to my personal blog.

Bring on Thing 2! Oh, and answer my poll question!
